Garage sale updates and SS frame for sale

Also, I'm selling my 2010 vintage SS frame. You can read all about it here.

Why sell it? Well, we're moving in a few months, and I'm not a fan of the Black Cat dropouts. I plan to build myself a new singlespeed when we're in UT and settled in, but until then, I really don't have the time to put this one back together (it's stripped down to frame only), much less time to ride it much.

How much? $800 takes it. Shipping included to anywhere in the continental US, or if you live somewhere else, I can give you a shipping quote.

A couple things to keep in mind:-Yes, I will give you a warranty. -Tubeset is TT OX platinum pretty much all around except for the seatstays and seat tube. -Weight is about 4.2# as I recall. I can go weigh it if you want an exact number. -If you don't like slack front ends and short stays, this is not the frame for you.-You will need long legs and prefer toptubes on the shorter side to make it fit well.-If you're over 175#, I will not sell it to you, because it was built for me, and I'm 150. -I think it rides better at 100mm travel than at 80mm, but it will work fine with either. -I'm happy to sell you a complete build kit or just a few parts, whatever you need to build it up. -The derailleur hanger on the swingers is pretty flimsy and has been bent and straightened a few times.-There is a very small dent in the downtube right on top of one of the decals caused by a flying rock. It is not a structural problem but it's visible. -Paint on the nondriveside chainstay (and to a lesser extent the driveside) is rubbed off by my duck-footed heels. I can do a complete repaint for $175 in any color you'd like (and I can fix the dent at the same time for no extra charge, if you want to go that route).
